Alright, it's your admin, Dai here... ^^ I'm going to teach you about BBCode today. There are a few things in BBCode that you can do, which aren't too obvious at first. Just remember this one thing:

In this FAQ, I'll give you a few examples and then the code.
[glow=white,2,300]1: THE BASICS[/glow]
Unlike HTML, which is coded in between sets of <>, BBCode is always coded between []. When you want to end your formatting, remember to put a / in front of your end code.
1.1: COLOR
Changing the color of your text is probably the simplest thing that you will ever do when dealing with BBCode. It is probably also the one that you will do the most. While the buttons above your reply box may help you a bit, if you are using the quick reply box, remembering the code is a cinch.
(I have written the colors as you would in the code)
Red
Yellow
Pink
Green
Orange
Purple
Blue
Beige (I know... WTF??)
Brown
Teal
Navy
Maroon
LimeGreen
Replace the ***** with your chosen color.
1.2: SIZE
Size is another essential part of your BBCode. You've seen me and Wicked use it a few times, and you know that i can make a massive amount of emphasis on words. It comes in a range of sizes, from 1 to 10... It's difficult to preview these, with the limited space we have here, but I'll give you the code, at least.
As before, the ** represents the size number.
1.3: Boldface, Italics, and Underlined Text.
I'm not even going to bother explaining these three simple-as-hell formatting techniques. All of you should be able to RP pretty well, and so you should know the significance of all of these...
BOLD:
ITALICS:
UNDERLINE:
1.4: Alignment
There are three simple alignment options for BBCode.
I don't need to stress the simplicity of this...
LEFT
CENTER
RIGHT
